Blommer Chocolate – From Strategy Gaps to a Clear Course in 60 Days

Transformation Type: Sustainability

About the Client

Blommer Chocolate Company is a leader in advancing sustainable cocoa farming and provides comprehensive business solutions for domestic and international customers across the confectionery, baking, and dairy industries. With a global footprint and a reputation for quality, Blommer has long been committed to sustainability — but ambitious goals required a sharper focus to succeed.

The Challenge

When a new Vice President of Sustainability stepped into the role, they inherited an ambitious sustainability agenda without a clear roadmap. The lack of alignment and prioritization created risks:

• Unclear direction threatened to stall momentum.

• Gaps in stakeholder buy-in risked slowing or derailing initiatives.

• No objective framework existed to confirm whether efforts were truly advancing the company’s mission and vision.

The Approach

To close the gap between ambition and execution, The Transformation Guild implemented its Four Currents™ Readiness Assessment. This proprietary tool provided an objective, data-backed view of organizational alignment and surfaced critical issues that could hinder progress.

The process delivered:

• Insight into how employees and stakeholders perceived sustainability initiatives.

• A clear prioritization framework to focus on high-impact areas.

• Confidence in the VP’s direction through measurable, actionable intelligence.

  
  

The Results

The assessment uncovered key insights that reshaped Blommer’s sustainability strategy:

• 42% of respondents were unclear about how sustainability initiatives connected to the company’s mission and vision.

• Only 27% felt confident in the ROI of current sustainability investments.

• Three priority focus areas emerged:

  1. Embedding sustainability into the company’s core strategy.

  2. Improving cross-departmental communication to strengthen collaboration.

  3. Clarifying and tracking ROI measures for sustainability initiatives..
